Legal team and outside counsel: Crain commands a worldwide legal group numbering more than 200, including 73 attorneys. One-third of the lawyers work in the contracts section. Litigation group members don’t try lawsuits themselves, but “manage them like an orchestra conductor,” Crain said. They “are not in the business to win suits,” but rather take a business-assessment standpoint; sometimes it is better to lose at trial than to pay a higher amount in a settlement, he said. The legal department works closely with Baker Hughes’ risk management group in regard to insurance matters. Crain oversees a deputy who focuses on mergers and acquisitions; other deputies handle labor and employment. Crain tries to maintain a balance between in-house legal work and using external counsel. Among the firms he turns to are Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld; Houston-based Baker Botts and Bracewell & Giuliani; Fulbright & Jaworski; Washington-based Howrey; and Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell.

Several law enforcement officials searched the business on Dec. 6 and found where alcoholic beverages allegedly were served to people younger than 21, even though the business wasnï¿½t located in an area where any alcohol sales are legal.

Four men, between the ages of 18 and 20, were charged with underage drinking.

Linda Davidson, also known as Glenda Davidson, of Crossville, was arrested on a warrant charging disorderly conduct and was released later on $100,000 bond.

Bradley Eugene Smith, 21, of Albertville, was charged on a second-degree count of possessing marijuana.

Marshallï¿½s complaint asks the Marshall County Circuit Court to keep Linda Davidson and C.M. Davidson from being able to operate any liquor nuisance or unlawful drinking place anywhere in the county.
